CanadianGothic / Curiouscast

The Canadian Gothic uncovers Canada’s most mysterious, unusual, and fascinating stories.

The show dives deep into true crime, unsolved disappearances, paranormal encounters, and bizarre events using a blend of meticulous research, archival audio, interviews, and firsthand accounts.

Each episode, whether a standalone mystery or part of an ongoing series, offers a richly woven narrative that brings Canada’s most enigmatic cases to life.

Nighttime

On July 30, 2026, the search for 11-year-old Parker Wells came to a heartbreaking end when his body was discovered in a drainage pipe in northeast Calgary.

Parker, who was autistic, neurodivergent and nonverbal, disappeared from his day home on July 16, prompting one of the largest search efforts in Calgary's recent history. Hundreds of police officers, firefighters, search-and-rescue teams, trained volunteers and members of the public dedicated countless hours to finding him. In the end, new evidence led investigators back to an area near Deerfoot Trail, where Parker was found.

In this episode of Canadian Gothic, we examine the final days of the search, the discovery that brought hope to an end, what investigators have revealed about how Parker was found, and the extraordinary community response that rallied around one little boy and his family.

KEEP CANADA WEIRD - 224 - 2026/07/31 - Grizzly Bears, Restaurants, Sinkholes, and Mosquitoes

On July 16, 2026, 11-year-old Parker Wells disappeared from his day home in Calgary. Parker is autistic, neurodivergent and nonverbal, and operates more like a 2-3 year old.

His disappearance has prompted an enormous search involving police, firefighters, search-and-rescue teams and hundreds of volunteers. Surveillance footage has helped investigators trace some of Parker’s movements, but major questions remain about where he went and how he has remained missing despite such an extensive effort.

In this episode of Canadian Gothic, we will focus on what is currently known, what remains unclear and how the public can help find Parker Wells.

KEEP CANADA WEIRD - 221 - 2026/07/10 - senior bank robber, sleeping in a Tesla, A moose in pools, and the kissing tree

On October 18, 2025, 25-year-old Eli Wood was last seen by his family on a video call that ended just prior to midnight. Something they did daily as a way to stay connected while Eli was attending university in Kitchener. Hours later, firefighters responded to a fire in Eli’s apartment.

But Eli wasn’t there… and hasn’t been seen since.

Police say the fire was arson and that foul play is suspected in Eli’s disappearance, but months later, little more than that has been revealed.

Important questions like what happened that night? why was the fire considered targeted? and where is Eli? all remain unanswered as his family pleads for answers, community searches continue, and police say an investigation remains active.

In this episode of the Canadian Gothic, Madelayne and Jordan discuss what we know and what we don’t know about the disappearance of Eli Wood.
